Rwanda's only Big Five destination — savannah safari in the land of gorillas
Akagera National Park's conservation comeback is one of Africa's greatest success stories. Lions were reintroduced in 2015, rhinos in 2017, and today the park offers genuine Big Five game viewing in a stunning landscape of savannah, lakes, and papyrus swamps.
Just 2.5 hours from Kigali, Akagera is the perfect addition to a gorilla trekking itinerary — combining Rwanda's mountain primates with classic savannah safari.
